DNA extraction is a method to purify DNA from a sample by separating it from other cellular components using physical and chemical methods. It involves disrupting cell walls and membranes to release DNA, then precipitating the DNA and removing contaminants like proteins, lipids, and RNA. Common extraction methods use chemicals like phenol, chloroform, and isopropanol to separate DNA, which is then analyzed on a gel for quality and yield assessment or used in applications like forensics, ancestry tracking, medical testing, and genetic engineering.

DNA was first isolated by Friedrich Miescher who discovered a
substance called "nuclein" in 1869. Blood is the main source of DNA
for genotype-related studies in humans. A rapid, efficient, and costeffective method for the isolation of genomic DNA from whole blood
is needed for screening a large number of samples. There are many
published protocols
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
2. Principle
• DNA extraction is a method to purify DNA by using physical and/or chemical methods from a
sample separating DNA from cell membranes, proteins, and other cellular components.
• Friedrich Miescher in 1869 did DNA isolation for the first time.
• The use of DNA isolation technique should lead to efficient extraction with good quantity and
quality of DNA, which is pure and is devoid of contaminants, such as RNA and proteins.
• The basic principle of DNA isolation is disruption of the cell wall, cell membrane, and nuclear
membrane to release the highly intact DNA into solution followed by precipitation of DNA and
removal of the contaminating biomolecules such as the proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, phenols,
and other secondary metabolites by enzymatic or chemical methods.
• The plant DNA is extracted by either CTAB-based or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-based
methods. The majority of the protocols developed for DNA extraction are modified versions of
cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) extraction.
4. Tris-EDTA (TE)
• TE buffer contains Tris (10 mM) and EDTA (1 mM), where Tris is the
buffering component and EDTA the chelating component.
• Tris maintains the pH of the solution.
• It interacts with the lipo-polysaccharides present on the outer
membrane of the cell, which help to permeabilize the membrane.
• This effect is enhanced with the addition of EDTA (Ethylene Diamine
Tetra Acetic acid), a molecule chelating cations like Mg2+.
• The purpose of TE buffer is to protect DNA from degradation
5. Phenol
• Phenol is an organic solvent, so it is not miscible with water and is
used along with chloroform and isoamyl alcohol for purification of the
DNA to remove proteins and polysaccharide contaminants.
• When phenol is shaken with cell extract, the nonpolar components of
the cell will be fractionated in phenol, leaving polar ones in water.
• DNA is insoluble in phenol because phenol is a nonpolar solution.
6. Chloroform
• Chloroform (CHCl3) or trichloromethane is a nonpolar (hydrophobic)
solvent, in which nonpolar proteins and lipids get dissolved to promote
the partitioning of lipids and cellular debris into the organic phase,
leaving isolated DNA protected in the aqueous phase.
7. Iso-amyl alcohol
• It is used to prevent phosgene (CoCl2) from the reaction of chloroform
(CH3Cl) with air.
• Chloroform comes in contact with the air and forms gas phosgene
(COCl2, carbonyl chloride), which is harmful.
• If we simply use chloroform only, the gas entrapment causes foaming
or frothing, it foams up between interphase during extraction process
and makes it difficult to properly purify the DNA, which is prevented
when chloroform is used along with isoamyl alcohol or isopentanol
{(CH3)2CHCH2CH2OH} or octanol {CH3(CH2)7OH} by preventing
the emulsification of a solution.
8. Isopropanol
• Alcohol is used to precipitate the DNA out of the extraction solution,
so we can wash all those salts and chemicals away and then dissolve it
in our final solvent—usually water or some variant of Tris-EDTA
solution.
• DNA remains dissolved in aqueous solution because DNA has
phosphodiester backbone, which is hydrophilic in nature.
• Water molecule forms hydration shell around DNA by forming
hydrogen bonds.
• Isopropanol/ethanol is used in precipitation of DNA, which breaks the
hydration shell.
9. RNase
• RNase is an enzyme that breakdown a RNA molecule.
• It is added to the final solution to ensure that no RNA is in the solution
as it may interfere with the DNA in the solution when trying to extract.
10. CTAB (Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide)
• CTAB is the best detergent to use during the extraction of highly
polymerized DNA from the plant material.
• This detergent simultaneously solubilizes the plant cell and lipid
membranes of internal organelles and denature proteins.
• CTAB, a cationic detergent, constitutes a long hydrophobic
hydrocarbon chain and a hydrophilic head. It forms micelle in water
because of the amphipathic nature.
• During DNA extraction, under aqueous condition, CTAB comes in
contact with the biological membrane, captures the lipids, and results
in the release of nucleus, which is devoid of membrane.
11.
12. β-Mercaptoethanol
• Plants are rich in phenolics compounds and to get a quality DNA these
should be removed.
• β-Mercaptoethanol (HOCH2CH2SH) is added most of the time in
extraction buffers and is a strong reducing agent to clean tannins and
other polyphenols present in the crude plant extract.

20. Assessing the quality and yield of DNA
• The quality and yield of DNA are assessed by spectrophotometry or by
gel electrophoresis.
• Spectrophotometry involves estimation of the DNA concentration by
measuring the amount of light absorbed by the sample at specific
wavelengths.
• Absorption peak for nucleic acids is at ~260 nm. The A260/A280 ratio is
~1.8 for dsDNA.
• A ratio of less than 1.7 indicates protein contamination.
21. Applications
1. Forensics
• You likely know that DNA is a key component in many criminal investigations.
DNA extraction can happen from samples such as hair, skin, or blood.
• Forensic teams often use DNA to determine if a person is a suspect or if they
should be eliminated as a suspect. DNA can sometimes prove a person’s
innocence or guilt, or, at least, it can prove whether a person was in the vicinity of
the crime scene.
2. Paternity Tests
• DNA extraction is also helpful for determining the paternity of a child. Whether a
person wants to prove they are or are not the father, DNA from both the potential
father and the baby can help prove or disprove a person’s claims to paternity.
22. Applications
• 3. Ancestry Tracking
• Besides helping a person know who their immediate ancestors are, DNA
extraction can also help a person understand the places their ancestors further back
came from. With modern DNA kits, a person can know all the countries where
their foreparents are from, as well as any living relatives who might still be living
and even some medical or food conditions a person is pre-disposed too.
• 4. Medical Tests
• For some medical conditions, DNA extraction is necessary to officially diagnose
it, especially if the medical condition is genetic. Common examples include cystic
fibrosis, Huntington’s disease, or Down syndrome. DNA extraction also is helpful
in identifying if a person is a carrier of the disease.
23. Applications
• 5. Genetic Engineering
• DNA extraction can be helpful for genetically engineering both plants and animals. For
plants, DNA can be useful in identifying, isolating, and extracting the wanted gene to
replicate in successive generations of plants. For animals, DNA extraction is helpful for
anything from cloning animals to transferring one animal’s DNA to another.
• 6. Vaccines
• Vaccines are very important in helping to control and stop disease. DNA can help in
creating some of these. While outright DNA vaccines are not completely approved for use
on people, DNA vaccines are often used in various animal vaccines and general
development of some human vaccines. For example, DNA extraction helps with the
Hepatitis B vaccine, specifically through recombinant DNA.
24. Applications
• 7. Hormones
• Hormones are vital for helping people grow and develop. DNA extraction
helps with developing these through recombinant DNA technology. Two
major examples of hormones that use DNA extraction include:
• Human growth hormones: These hormones help a large number of people
with various conditions. For example, people with growth issues, renal
carcinoma, or Tumer’s syndrome can benefit from human growth hormones.
• Insulin: People with diabetes often need insulin, specifically people with
type I diabetes. DNA extraction can help with insulin production via
recombinant DNA.
